The cultural collision between both worlds is evident to this day, and the struggle for peace and respect diferent ways of living, is still an issue. Now we know that the power of money is the destroyer of mankind of any color, any procedence.

Mon, 02 Sep 2013 15:11:00 +0000http://blogs.denverpost.com/captured/?p=2551#comment-67602I have heard of the expression ‘trail of tears’ native Indians shed while they were removed from their lands. It should be ‘THE SHAME OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE’. In good faith the native American kept their word and promises to the leaders in government yet those men then broke most of their promises. Unbeleivable how those men in power wrote the bill of rights and the constitution and erected a statue calling for’ those weary and oppressed to settle freely in America yet starved and shattered the lives of the original settlers of our country.

Hey Ravenhawk, I am only a white boy from Russian Hebrew and Scottish English decent. I too am brought to heart felt tears from these images they remind me of a childhood of harvesting wild berries, fruits and medicinal plants, some taught and some learned, red hot lava rocks in the sweat lodge, elders crying from the heat, breathing on the moist earth, painted teepees, a mohawk haircut, bow and arrow, spear points of obsidian, leather beaded moccasins, brain-tan fringe jacket, woven hand spun poncho with natural lupin dye, freedom running the forest hills and exploring caves, running the rivers, running the rocks, swimming underwater, jumping from the rocks. One night and day I watched the hillsides burn – my backyard Mts forests burned and many of the hidden areas of the Takilma hillside were exposed. Years later I awoke in a cold sweat screaming “NO!!!!!! from a nightmare in the Central Highlands of the Ecuadorian Amazon with Shuar People in a village Shiram Pupunas, in the Pastaza Province. I was dreaming that the hillside of Sunstar, an area upriver at the birth of the East Fork of the illonois River, was being logged clean. My homeland that had nurtured my upbringing and native spirit was being destroyed. Meanwhile my friends in the jungle were facing a similar struggle how to protect their land from logging, oil exploitation, and poverty in the midst of modernization. The struggle continues today as in the last couple years pot holed dirt roads have turned to concrete highways leading to the Amazon River. There are some gatherings with the Shuar, Kichwa and many more from the Amazon, Andes and around the world this June 2012. Native People of the Americas have a lot to share in Spirituality, Knowledge, Political and Economic organization to protect nature and bring about healing and education of the people. Every time I think of what this great region where the Columbia River meets the Willamette i am moved by nostalgia and sadness of the greatness that has passed. The great cultures of this past should be the leaders of today. I believe that the Traditional People of the world can help each other to bring back this greatness. It is happening. Everyone is welcome to share, teach and learn “Living Village”/ “Pueblo Viviente”, Gathering of the Tribes, June 20 – July4th, 2012, Okshaloma, Otavalo, Ecuador. souljourn@hotmail.com for more info. from a white boy and Native Family. Honor and Respect to all. HO’ HOKA ‘HE’.

Tue, 22 Mar 2011 15:02:00 +0000http://blogs.denverpost.com/captured/?p=2551#comment-59077Hey RunningBear, I am only Sioux descent from my maternal grandmother, but even I am often brought to tears in just remembering the past and how such a precious culture was crushed. Even if not for Columbus the whites would still have washed over this land like a tsunami. Their numbers were just too great. The plains people fought to count coup and for war honors, the whites fought to exterminate. It took too long for the native peoples to understand the whites reasons for being here. Your words are very true and I am certainly no expert on the matter. But all that is left now is to try and keep the culture alive in the children and at the same time try to teach them to believe in themselves. They need to be taught the importance of education at an early age so that they can reach adulthood with the survival skills that they will need. Easier said than done, I know. While we should never forget the past, maybe we should stop mourning it and try to approach the future with positive thinking and goals in mind.
